“Cyber Security of Automated, Mechatronic, and Robotic Systems”
Cybersecurity is a set of technologies, methods, and practices designed to protect information systems, networks, automated systems, and robotic systems from cyber threats, such as unauthorized access, data breaches, attacks on infrastructure, and system disruptions.
Why is this important?
The number of cyberattacks is growing, and their consequences are becoming increasingly severe: from the theft of confidential data and financial losses to disruptions in critical infrastructure, particularly automated systems, which can threaten the security of society and the economy.
What is a cybersecurity specialist?
A cybersecurity specialist ensures the protection of information and cyber-physical systems against attacks, develops secure software, conducts security monitoring and audits, and implements security technologies for automated, mechatronic, and robotic systems, ensuring their reliability and uninterrupted operation.
The interdisciplinary educational and professional program “Cyber Protection of Automated, Mechatronic, and Robotic Systems” is unique in the fields of cybersecurity and automation, training specialists to protect and manage modern technologies. The program offers personalized learning paths, integration with international standards, and practical training based on innovative platforms. Students acquire skills in working with cyber-physical systems, artificial intelligence, and Robotics 4.0, making them highly sought-after in the job market. This program is the ideal choice for those who aspire to be at the forefront of technological innovation and security.
